I don't know of one, offhand, but I would suggest not doing this in the first place. Any 'conversion' is going to be difficult to maintain and not take advantage of the features of the language. Over the long term, a complete rewrite will be cheaper than trying to maintain either the C (because you will have to repeatedly convert it, correct the conversion, etc.) or the converted Ada (because it will be an incredibly ugly mess). -- "Insisting on perfect safety is for people who don't have the balls to live in the real world." -- Mary Shafer, NASA Ames Dryden ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fred.McCall@dseg.ti.com - I don't speak for others and they don't speak for me.
